On the line of interesting storage devices - does anyone remember the
"scanner" that read strips of encoded data.  I don't remember what it
was called, but for a little while they printed some of these strips in
Nibble.  I think it was an Apple II only thing.  I guess you could read
and print these strips and they generated programs when you scanned
them. 
It's called a Causin 'Strip Reader'.  Cable and software kits were
available for both PC compatable and Apple II series computers.  I have one
in my collection, but with no software at present.  (have not got a picture
on the web page yet either - foo!)  Have been trying to track down the
software for either system...

...
 Also, some personal bad news - my van was broken into
on Friday night
and a large load of classic equipment was stolen (I'm preparing to move
and the it was the easiest place to store it). 
Aw heck!  ('course, I do the same...)
